    My 6 day old baby chick has no energy and has bubbles and foamy saliva

    The chick got stepped on by its mom I’m not sure if it was intentional or not. Neck and a leg got stepped on and I’m pretty sure nothing was broken. He wasn’t very agile after that however. I thought he was gonna be okay because he was still fine yesterday just a little bit out of energy. But...

    Is it bumblefoot?

    So periwinkle has something going on with her foot and as far as I can find, I haven’t seen any cases of bumblefoot that look like hers. Two of her toes are like short and fat with a hard black scab on the tips. We are about to suit up for surgery unless anyone thinks it could be something...

    Drake Prolapse Amputation: Yea or Nay?

    This is Alligator Bob. He is brave, smart, handsome, a doer of valorous deeds and much more interesting than Boo, the World’s Cutest Dog. At any rate, poor Bobbie has had a relatively slight penis prolapse for about a month. For a while, I was just keeping an eye on it, applying hydrocortisone...

    HELP! Female muscovy drinking lots of water but not eating

There...

    Deep pecking wound

    I have a chicken with a pretty deep wound. I isolated her and rinsed her wound out with saline. I am spraying her with Banixx too. She keeps trying to pick at it so I am considering putting a child shirt on her to prevent her pecking at it. The wound is towards the end of her wing near her tail...
